We did not encounter anyone inside the castle.
Not a single person.
For some reason there wasn't anyone.
The result of which was that Zanoba became rather talkative.
"There is an entrance to this castle on the second floor. This is the entrance used by outside guests, the third floor also has..."
He told us, matter-of-factly, about the castle.
Floor 1: the living area for soldiers and servants
Floor 2: the audience hall and various facilities used for diplomacy
Floor 3: other facilities such as conference rooms, internal affairs offices, and corridors that lead to the primary defense positions in the walls and towers
Floor 4: the living quarters for the princes and princesses as well as their bodyguards
The King's chamber is on the fifth floor.
It's a weird castle.
Wouldn't the royal family be annihilated if they failed to wake up during a fire on the lower floors?
Well, that royalty was already all but gone though...
Nothing on the first floor, the second floor, nor the third.
There was nobody.
When we entered the fourth floor I tried looking through the windows.
There were bonfires around the castle, it was easy to understand that a rebel army lay outside.
However the presence of Pax's men could not be seen.
Neither is there any sign that fighting has occurred.
I can't see a single person.
I feel like it isn't just that I can't see them in the darkness.
The castle is unmanned.
" .... "
This eerieness , Zanoba has noticed it as well.
When we entered the fourth floor,the conversation suddenly stopped.
Everyone's expression also became stiff.
Something is going on here in the castle.
While feeling this way, we climbed the final flight of stairs
